That depends on the display. Some of them, you need to either activate a PC or computer mode, or you may need to disable overscanning, or LCD overdrive. You can usually fix this on the computer itself, if you go into the display settings in either the NVIDIA control panel or the AMD Catalyst Control Center, depending on who makes your video card. If it's AMD, you can just right-click your background/wallpaper, click Catalyst Control Center, then click the My Digital Flat Panels category on the left, then click Scaling Options, and you can mess with the underscan/overscan settings to scale the picture in and out on the display.

I don't know the NVIDIA version offhand, but it's going to be a similar set of steps. If you have an Intel or other manufacturer for the video card, then I don't know, you'll have to Google it; but it's usually fixed via underscan or overscan settings.

What Roland said. If your computer screen is normally 4:3 or something like that and you clone to the TV it's going to clone the identical resolution. If you are using it as a second monitor then you can set up the TV with it's own resolution.

I enjoy ruining threads by making them about personal attacks and then commenting about how personal attacks make the other person's argument invalid.

Lymon, find out what model of graphics card you have. Click Start, go to Control Panel, then open Device Manager. (You may have to click a link on the left that says switch to classic view, or change a menu on the upper right to small icons in order to see it.) Go to the display adapters section in device manager, and tell me what model it lists in there.

Does "ATI Radeon HD4200", sound right?

Yes. Now, what version of Windows are you using? (Go back to the Control Panel, and open up System, and it will say; I also need to know if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. When you're in System, depending on the version of Windows, it'll probably have a category that says System Type, and it'll say "32-bit Operating System" or "64-bit Operating System".

You should be able to access something about "My displays", "Multiple displays", etc. Try to find one that when you change settings on it, it makes your TV screen change. I don't have access to my computer with ATI graphics right now or I could get a better handle on your exact settings menu.

Ignore the stuff in the middle on my screenshot. What categories do you have listed on the left, if any? Also, you're going to the right place as far as right-clicking wallpaper and then clicking ATI Control Center.

Lymon, on your desktop, right-click on it (not on an icon), and it'll bring up a sub-menu. Left-click on "screen resolution". Once that comes up, change it to 1920x1080 (I'm guessing that's the monitor's native resolution).
